The Donation of Books.
THE GREENvILLE TINES

THE GREENvILLE TINES:
There are we suppose many citi.
zens who have more books than
they want or can properly keep in
their. library, or have two copies
of the same author, While the
Public Library contains a judi
cious selection of works on nearly
every subject ofliterature science
and miscellaneous knowledge ; yet
their donations would greatly add
to the number and contribute to
its usefulness and variety. 1t is
hoped and believed that the libra.
ry will be a permanent institution,
sustained and supported by the
liberality of citizens. Their do
nations can be read and as much
enjoyed by the donors and their
families as part of the library as
now. They will in this way come
in for real benefit and pleasure
upon the public without in the
least diminishing them. In this
way we can build up apublic insti-
tuition of which we may be proud.
A permanent center of inforna.
tion, convenience, instruction and
an educator to the rising genera
ton and an invaluable aid to the
public schools. We hope then
that all liberal patriotic citizens
having the future welfare, pro.
gress and intellectual and moral
Improvement at heart will literally
donate what is of little value to
them but much to others. We
have no doubt but the librarian
will cheerfully receive catalogue
books of donors and place them
on the shelves for general use.

EDiTon GRxESvILLE TINES;
The time is drawing near for the

Association of the Yazoo.Missis-

large gathering of the farmers Of
the Valley, and deep intesest
felt in the success of our organlza.
tion. l notice similar organiza.
tions forming in the State since
we organized in December last,
showing that the farmers are be-
ginning to realize the necessity as
we'll as the benefit Of getting to.
gether occasionally and exchang-
ing views on the different sub.
jects connected with their busl.
ness, and there is no section of
country where it is more needed
or better results can be obtained
than among the farmers of the
Mississippi Valley. | hope the
president or secretary will notify
Gen. s. ID. Lee President of the
A. & NJ. College, in due time that
we shall hope to see him fulfill his
promise made at the last meeting
to be present at the next, also
Professor Myers. And l trust the
President will also take steps to
try and get reduced rates of fare
to and from Greenville on that oc'
casion. l believe the meeting is
to be on the second Tuesday in
May next, and hope you will stir
up the readers of the TIMES in
your next issue and urge ALL farm
ers and those interested in farm
ing in Valley to be present.
Very respectfully,
